Finance
The Town Council sets its budget each year in October. This includes the "precept" which is the total amount of income requested from local Council Tax payers. The precept for 2019/20 has been set at £125,000. This equates to an annual cost of approx £29.50 per council tax payer.
The Finances of the Town Council are overseen by the Policy & Finance Advisory Group, who examine the budget in depth and expenditure and income performance compared to budget targets. They meet 3 times a year and make recommendations to Full Council. To see the full budget for 2019-20, please refer to the pdf document below:
